ANUAL NTRODUCTION . . Introduction About this manual This manual describes the installation, operation and mainte- nance of the fan coil unit, model DECO. It also describes repair operations. This manual only relates to the unit itself. A separate manual covers the operation and control of the unit.
NTRODUCTION Danger: This indicates actions which are not permitted. Ignoring this warning can lead to serious damage or accidents which may involve bodily injury. The action concerned may only be performed by qualified technical staff when carrying out maintenance or repair. 1.2.2 Pictograms on the device and in the guide The pictograms in Table 1-1 refer to possible risks and/or dangers.
In general illustrations in this manual, the following unit type is used as a sample: DECO 50-H2-L-FS10. The appearance of your unit may be different but its working is identical, unless stated otherwise.

NTRODUCTION Warning: The top of the unit may get hot. 1.4.2 Installation, maintenance and service Danger: The unit may be opened by qualified technical staff only. Warning: Perform the following actions before opening the unit: 1. Switch the unit OFF. 2.
• Check whether all parts are included. General working method • Biddle recommends following the order of working described in this chapter for performing the installation works. • Some parts of this section are applicable only to certain models of the fan coil unit. Where this is the case, it will be indicated so.
NSTALLATION Caution: Taking in building dust, grit, cement powder etc. may dam- age the unit. While such substances are present in the room: do not start to use the device, cover air intake and discharge openings. You may cover the unit with the packaging material. Cased models Caution: Do not lift the unit at the side panels.
ANUAL NSTALLATION 2.4.2 Mounting Caution: Mount the wall duct carefully, and provide for proper sealing. Otherwise draught and condensation problems may occur, affecting the operation of the fan coil unit. 1. Apply expanding foam gasket (included) around the unit’s ventilation opening (the shaded area in the figure). 2.
ANUAL NSTALLATION 3. Make the curb around the opening. Apply roofing felt or bitumen onto the curb, making it watertight. 4. Remove the cap from the pipe. To do so, loosen the screws in the upper side of the cap. 5.
NSTALLATION 2.6.2 Mounting 1. Apply expanding foam gasket (included) around the inlet section’s ventilation opening. 2. Make an opening through the wall (see Table 2-3 for dimensions). 3. Fix four M8 bolts into the wall. (The dimensions are identi- cal to those for fixing the unit: see Table 2-4 on page 18.) Make sure the bolts are level.

ANUAL NSTALLATION Wall models • Position the unit on an as level as possible surface for maximum support. Level the unit using the adjusting feet. • The unit can also be suspended from the wall using the four keyholes in the back. •...
NSTALLATION Chassis models • After installation, it should still be possible to remove the casing to gain access to the connections. Chassis models with re-circulation (DECO FR4, CR4) • Do NOT position the unit such that its bottom is on the floor or against the wall.
ANUAL NSTALLATION 2.8.3 Mounting wall model Floor positioning 1. Position the unit on the surface, and stabilise and level it using the adjusting feet in the bottom. 2. You may want to secure the unit to the wall. (See below.) Suspending from or securing to wall 1.
NSTALLATION 3. Fix the unit to the inlet section using 4 M8 bolts, through the keyholes in the back panel. 4. Remove the temporary prop from underneath the unit. 5. Check the suspension for stability: Try to push the unit from the bolts. Shake the unit for a few seconds.
93 °C 10 bar 110 °C 6 bar Note: Biddle recommends the inclusion of a valve in each pipe. Cased models • Allow for cable and pipe entries. Connection can be done through the bottom or, after removal of the filling piece, through the side panel open- ing.
NSTALLATION Caution: The frost protection reduces the risk of freezing but does not warrant 100% protection. To prevent the heat exchanger from freezing: ensure a constant circulation of water at a correct tem- perature; when not in operation during the wintertime, glycol must be added to the water.
ANUAL NSTALLATION 2.9.5 Electrical connection • Ensure an earthed (grounded) power point is available at no more than 1.5 m from the unit’s connection side (depending on model). Warning: The unit must be earthed (grounded). 2.10 Connecting unit (electrically heated models) Warning: Ensure the mains supply group you are working on is switched off.
NSTALLATION 2.12 Replacing side panels onto unit Cased models only 1. Hook the side panels into the three eyes on the unit’s side face. 2. Fix the panel to the front face using screw 1. 3. Position the filter frame, and fix it with the quarter-turn fasteners.

ANUAL NSTALLATION 5. Switch on the unit using the controller. Check whether the unit blows out air. Models with water heating and/or cooling Check if the heat exchanger is connected correctly: 1. Make sure the CH and/or CW system is (are) switched on. 2.
PERATION . . Operation Introduction The unit allows you to regulate the direction of the dis- charged air. Other control options depend on the control system. For that, refer to the relevant documentation. Regulating discharge direction Standard in cased models, accessory in chassis models The discharge grille has one or more handles to regulate the discharge direction.
The interval at which the filter is to be replaced depends on the local situation. New filters are available from Biddle. You may also clean the filter material with, for instance, a vacuum cleaner. After some cleanings, however, the filter must be replaced.
AINTENANCE Cleaning the unit 4.2.1 Exterior You may clean the exterior of the unit with a damp cloth and a domestic cleaner. Do not use any solvents. Caution: Make sure no water runs into the unit. 4.2.2 Inlet grille You may clean the inlet grille of the unit with a damp cloth and a domestic cleaner.
7. Clean the different panels, for instance, in a dishwasher at low temperature. 8. Remount the components in reverse order to dismounting. Periodical maintenance Biddle recommends to have the following inspection and main- tenance works performed by an installer each year. All models •...

AINTENANCE Wall models with cooling • Inspect the filter of the condensate discharge pump (acces- sory) in the float module. Ceiling models with cooling • Check if the condensate discharge pump (accessory) can take in freely.
ANUAL ERVICE . . Service Safety instructions Danger: Service on the unit may be performed by qualified technical staff only. Warning: Before opening the unit, follow the safety instruc- tions in section 1.4. Opening unit 5.2.1 Removing side panels Cased models only 1.
ERVICE Chassis models 1. Remove the surrounds. 2. Each side of the front panel has one screw 1: loosen them. 3. Remove the front panel. 5.2.3 Opening the electronics compartment 1. Remove the unit’s side panels (see section 5.2.1) or sur- rounds.
